LSOA to CCG to STP Lookup: England Administrative Geography for April 2017

A 2017 lookup file mapping 2011 Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) to Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs), and Local Authority Districts (LADs) in England as of 1 April 2017. The dataset was published by the Office for National Statistics and includes specific CCG formations from that period. It is available in CSV, GeoJSON, and ESRI REST formats.

Use Cases

• Mapping patient populations to healthcare commissioning bodies based on the LSOA to CCG linkage.
• Analyzing regional health planning structures using the Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP) groupings.
• Joining health outcome data with local government areas using the Local Authority District (LAD) codes.
• Studying the impact of specific CCG boundary changes, such as the formation of NHS North Cumbria CCG, mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Provides explicit crosswalks between four key administrative geographies (LSOA, CCG, STP, LAD) for a specific date.
• Includes specific, named CCG formations (e.g., NHS North Cumbria CCG E38000215) as noted in the description.
• Offers multiple file formats (CSV, GeoJSON, ESRI REST) for different analytical workflows.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale joins.
• Data reflects a single snapshot from April 2017; changes after this date are not included.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
